Thanks, but I can open the attachment.dat file in gedit and it's plain html. So that tool wasn't able to extract anything. I can also, and most significantly, read the message when I reply but not in the preview. So how is it that the reply can extract the plain text from the HTML message, but the reading pane cannot? For some reason it appears at though the message body is being turned into the attachment by Evolution. I just received another message in Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" that also displays as "attachment.dat" which I can also read in a reply. When I view the message source though it is readable HTML, unlike the UTF-8 message which, as I mentioned, is getting "binaried".
